Did You Know That Drinking Water Stations Can Endanger Your Health?

by Jason A. Samfield

While there has been concern over tap water for many years, it has become apparent that what comes out of the faucet is contaminated and often, very dangerous. Obviously, with water containing a variety of dangerous chemicals and parasites, many people are now choosing drinking water stations. These systems are commonly found in businesses, schools, medical facilities, and even homes. However, what you need to know is that these systems are actually contributing to the problem.

Unfortunately, most stations are unsafe. The reason is that the water is actually contaminated, coming straight out of the tap. Unfortunately, unsuspecting people take a nice, long drink as an alternative to tap water, believing they are taking steps to a healthier life. However, unless the station is from a reputable company, one that guarantees that only 100% filtered or mineral water is used, chances are people are drinking nothing more than tap water that is loaded with chemicals, parasites, and other dangerous contaminants.

The only filter these drinking water stations have is the basic carbon system. Yes, this type of filter can eliminate some of the harmful chemicals found in standard tap water but the truth is, they are not sophisticated enough to filter out everything. That means harmful chemicals, parasites, and other contaminants are being consumed, such as chlorine, lead, parasites, and more.

Even worse, these special water systems are designed with polycarbonate containers. This means in addition to the carbon filter eliminating only some of the dangers, the plastic container itself promotes additional health risks. New studies have shown that plastic, which is made from chemicals, can be very hazardous. For instance, when food is heated in a plastic container in a microwave, chemicals are released into the food. The same is true for these stations in that water being stored within plastic containers only further promotes contamination.

Okay, if you are like other people, you want to know how to eliminate dangerous chemicals, parasites, and other contaminations altogether. The answer is actually quite simple. The key is to avoid water from stations and choose only what has been filtered at home with an installed purification system. In this case, you could easily take fresh, clean, and safe water to work, while also having confidence that you and the entire family are consuming something at home that is pure and safe.

The good news is that filtration systems on the market today are beneficial for purifying contaminated water. Of course, you want to choose the right system, not one that uses a simple carbon filter. These systems come in three primary options that include the faucet system, the countertop system, and the under-counter system. Choosing a filter system that uses a high-density ceramic filter ensures that even the smallest contaminates are trapped. That way, contaminated water is a problem solved. You should take time to learn about the actual dangers found in what comes from the tap, as well as details on the top of the line filtration systems so you stop the danger!
